22.01.2022 I'm pleased to introduce a new pilot program in which patients who have Hip or Knee Replacement through my practice will be provided with a fitness "wearable" to wear pre-op and then for 12 months post surgery. Through real-time prospective monitoring of the patient journey through joint replacement surgery we will be able to monitor changes in activity ability and exercise participation but also other quality of life variables as sleep quality. Through continuous monitoring of patient progress we also aim to develop an "early alert" system for any patients who are not tracking according to expectations and who may benefit from early physiotherapy intervention. Exciting times. #kneereplacement #hipreplacement #ERAS #bigdata #fitbit #garmin #hip #knee #kneesurgery #recovery #orthopaedic

18.01.2022 I'm pleased to offer a satellite clinic in Warragul at the West Gippsland Medical Centre. As the only surgeon consulting in the Gippsland area to offer Direct Anterior Approach minimally invasive hip replacement and 3D-print aligned partial knee replacement, this clinic makes these procedures accessible to patients from the Gippsland area. For all appointments contact my main office on (03) 9532 3333.

18.01.2022 For patients with arthritis who are not good candidates for surgery (e.g. due to serious medical problems that could potentially make surgery risky or because the arthritis is not yet severe enough to warrant operating) a new treatment known as "Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation" may an option to consider. Essentially, radiowaves are used to desensitise the sensory nerves from the joint and thereby decrease the level of pain caused by the arthritic joint. This treatment has been approved by the FDA and has published supporting evidence of efficacy. I am pleased to now offer this through my practice. Please contact my office if you wish to discuss whether you may be an appropriate candidate. (03) 9532 3333

13.01.2022 Specialised software which allows me to create a computer-generated virtual plan for joint replacement surgery allows me to fine tune implant position but also to make implant selections which best fit the anatomy of a particular patient. In time this will also lead to cost and efficiency gains for the hospital and health system as it will enable us to simplify the set for a particular case to the instruments, trials and implants which will actually be required, rather than opening up multiple unnecessary trays for every case. #personalisedsurgery #DAA #traumacad #brainlab #kingmark #efficientsurger #CAS #hipreplacement

07.01.2022 I am pleased to introduce a new "Patient Optimised Pathway" smartphone app and wearable Garmin tracker for our patients undergoing Hip and Knee Replacement. The new app will guide patients through educational content, pre-operative preparation, a daily "agenda", post operative rehabilitation goals and also provide easy access to important contact information and frequently asked questions so that our patients are optimally supported though their surgical journey and enhanced recovery program. The wearable app will monitor step count, sleep quality and other measurable metrics so that we can closely follow patients' recovery from surgery. It will also allow us to set individualised patient goals to optimise recovery from surgery.
